THIEL Audio Names Brown Board Member, Interim COO

The new-look THIEL Audio announced Wednesday that former Lenbrook CEO Bob Brown has joined the company’s board of directors and will serve as interim COO. Brown is also a former COO of Tivoli Audio and also worked at ZVOX Audio.

Brown’s job, the company said, is to “provide the company’s new ownership with a complete analysis of the existing operation, including manufacturing, domestic and international sales as well as marketing.” THIEl was purchased by a private equity firm last November, with Bill Thomas taking over as CEO and Kathy Gornik departing.

We are very excited to be able to leverage the vast resources and depth of knowledge that Bob Brown brings to an energized team here at THIEL,” Thomas said in a statement. “We are committed to bringing innovative high performance audio products to market and we feel confident that Bob can provide critical direction toward meeting that objective.”
